The Curry soup Yong Towfoo...

It was a beautiful Sunday in
February. We decided to go for lunch at the Pavilion. I drove the Honda and
park it at the basement and move on toward the main concourse of the mall.
Although it was still early the place was already thronging with folks coming
to enjoy their weekend in the cool comfort of the mall. As it was early
we decided to just do a little shopping at the Little Japan on the top floor.
There were many people there too. We did a little shopping at the Daiso where
everything there are sold at RM5.00 each and then move on to have lunch at the
Food-court down below. Here too we saw folks queuing to buy their lunch. After
browsing along we decided to go for the Yong Towfoo. It a self-serving joint
where one selects the many spread of things Towfoo and then get the soup put in
by the caterer. We ordered two bowls with the plain soup; the usual one we often
ordered. After paying for it I waited while my spouse went to look for table to
sit. The caterer place one bowl with plain soup on the tray and then I saw they
put a curry soup on the other bowl which I did not ask. I told them that
I had ordered plain soup for the two bowls. Realising their mistake they
apologised. In that few seconds I though why not I just take the bowl
with the curry soup and not to make a fuss of it. I told them so and that made them
happy. Had I not taken it and adamant in getting the one with the plain
soup they would surely incurred a lost but by my split seconds decision not to
make a fuss of it and take it anyway did save the situation making it a sort of a win win
situation of sorts for both parties. I took the two bowls and sat to enjoy it;
my spouse the one with the plain soup and I the one with the curry soup.
I soon found the one with the curry soup that I am enjoying taste really go. I
did not expect it to taste that good and for that I did enjoy that lunch. Had it not
been for the mistake at the outlet I would not have known that the Yong Towfoo
with the curry soup taste better than the plain one. Well it looks like a small
incident like this and the split decision one made not only save the day at the
outlet but it actually give one a new experience of tasting the Yong Towfoo in
the curry soup. Well we can never tell the unexpected could turn out to be a beautiful experience in one's life.
